Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners

We, the undersigned, wish to protest the proposed rezoning
of the' area east of Lewis Avenue and between Crawford Avenue and
Millwood Drive. We believe that one function of zoning is to
protect residential areas from encroachment by undesirable and
conflicting businesses. Zoning ordinances should prevent and
not encourage conflicts between residential areas and commercial
areas.

Members of the City Commission
Salina, Kansas 67401
Gentlemen:'
It has come to my attention that consideration is being
given to a petition to rezone the buffer zone between Mill-
wood and Crawford in the ten hundred block°
~Since I am out of to~n and will not be able to attend the
City Commission meeting when this matter is considered, I
am taking the liberty of expressing my concern in this matter.
When we built our home at 808 Millwood in 1960, the plan
for that area between Millwood and Crawford from Roach to
Ohio included a buffer zone of 60 feet back of the houses
· on the north side of Millwood. This zone would protect the
residential area from any business enterprise that c~pld have
a serious effect on the aesthetic, as well as the dollar value
of the homes in this area.
Mr. Riker recognized the need for such a zone; and as a mattor
of fact, he told me on different occasions that such a land-
scaped zone would be good for the entire area.
With these assurances, we built our home and there is ample
evidence that many of the other home owners in that area are
of the same opinion.
The concerns of home owners in this residential area are valid.
The buffer zone was an important factor when considering pur-
chasing a home in this area.
I hope· that your deliberations and decisions will reflect
your concern for the home owners in this area.
Very truly yours,
C. O. Scott.
